US losses from hurricanes set to soar by 2100
ROME: The annual cost of damage caused by hurricanes in the United States may rise eight times by the end of the century, as the number and intensity of the storms increase on a warmer planet, researchers said on Tuesday.
Globally, tropical cyclones account for more than 50 percent of eco**mic losses caused by weather. Their impact is projected to increase "substantially" as the number of people affected grows, incomes rise and storms worsen, the researchers said. In the United States, the increase in the cost of hurricanes may even outpace eco**mic growth if climate change is **t curbed, the Germany-based Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK) said in a paper. "The losses of hurricanes will rise more strongly than GDP (gross domestic product) will rise - that’s basically what we found," Tobias Geiger, lead researcher at PIK, told the Thomson Reuters Foundation in a telephone interview. أكثر... ??????? ??????: US losses from hurricanes set to soar by 2100 || ??????: ahlam1399 || ??????: اسم منتداك
